The Sunday Times published a letter from JDRF CEO Karen Addington yesterday highlighting business tycoon Jim Ratcliffe’s unfortunate misunderstanding of diabetes.

The March 9 article entitled ‘union-busting tycoon tackles obese children’ includes a quote from Mr. Ratcliffe saying: “childhood diabetes didn’t exist when I was growing up. It was an old man’s disease. But now lots of kids have diabetes. They are eating so much sugar that by the time they are 16, the pancreas is giving up the ghost.”

You said it! If he's going to stick his oar in he should at least get his facts straight first. How did he ever get to be a billionaire?
